Samantha supports SP’s ongoing growth by focusing on Human Resources and recruitment. She takes a hands-on approach — immersing herself in teams, roles, and daily operations to maintain a deep understanding of how the company functions. This insight ensures our hiring aligns with both our mission and our culture.
With over a decade of experience in education, Samantha began her career as a classroom teacher before transitioning into leadership roles focused on recruiting and HR strategy. Most recently, she served at Great Hearts Academies, a network of high-performing public charter schools with more than 30,000 students across 25 campuses. While there, she played a key role in helping launch a new campus and led the expansion of another by 40%, overseeing critical efforts in talent acquisition, onboarding, training, compliance, and organizational logistics.
Samantha’s approach is grounded in building strong, personal relationships, ensuring that every hire is not only highly qualified but also a strong cultural fit.
